Goodbye, Eclipse

a man who tries to possess the moon
would understandably be called
arrogant

a man who tries to possess the sun
would rightfully be told he was
a fool

and a man who tries to possess them both
would be accused of the greatest
absurdity

but for a brief moment
this man
did exactly that

and i saw
that light and darkness
are the same

i discovered pleasures which
only exist because of danger

standing there
in a vast silhouette
it screamed at me
that love
without rage
without pain
without complete insanity...

well
that is not love

soon the moon slipped to one direction
the sun to another
and the moment
was gone

only after it had passed
was i aware of all i learned

only then did i realize
just how crazy about that eclipse
i had been
and
always
will be






-with great, and devastating love for Elise.
